New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has offered yet another conspiracy theory on the extra-terrestrial.
Now that the Jets are officially out of the playoffs with a 3-10 record, the 41-year-old has seemingly begun to divert his energy elsewhere.
After failing to end New York’s 14-year playoff curse, Rodgers opted to debunk some conspiracy theories during his weekly Pat McAfee Show appearance instead.
The signal caller brought up some mysterious drone activity that has been occurring in the skies of New Jersey recently.
‘Do you know what’s been going on in New Jersey lately? And I’m not talking about the football. There’s been some crazy things going on,’ Rodgers began. ‘There’s been some drones in the sky in Jersey.’
McAfee then showed a clip on an unidentified large object hovering above Bedminster, New Jersey with blue, green and red flashing lights.
‘What the hell is that?’ Rodgers continued, before highlighting that the mysterious sighting came above Bedminster where both president-elect Donald Trump owns a golf course and Jets owner Woody Johnson lives.
The four-time MVP did admit it could be Trump flying in for a quick round of golf but, of course, it wouldn’t be Aaron Rodgers without a conspiracy theory.
‘Maybe it’s some kids messing around…maybe not, though,’ he hinted.
‘I’m thinking about having a Friday night 5E experience,’ he added, leaving the panel bewildered.
‘It’s where you have a big kind of meditation circle and then you call in the aliens and you use little green lasers to bring them in,’ the NFL veteran explained.
It wasn’t the first time that the former Super Bowl winner has discussed extra-terrestrial experiences.
During last season’s ‘Hard Knocks’ series focusing on the Jets, Rodgers claimed he experienced a UFO sighting in 2005.
He said he was at former Cal teammate Steve Levy’s house in New Jersey shortly before he was taken by the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft when the sighting occurred.
Rodgers, who has publicly admitted to using hallucinogen ayahuasca, said he was trying to sleep as he had a 5am wake up call the following day but was disturbed by an ‘alarm going off in the distance.’
‘It just didn’t seem like normal, and I heard some rustling downstairs,’ Rodgers said on the season finale of ‘Hard Knocks.’
‘So I got up, walk downstairs, it’s a beautiful night, and [we] walked outside, and up in the clouds, we heard this sound, and we saw this tremendously large object moving through the sky. And it was like a scene out of “Independence Day” when the ships are coming into the atmosphere, and they’re creating this, like, kind of explosion-type fire in the sky.
‘We saw this incredibly large object and froze, as anybody would, because, you know, what the hell is going on? Eventually, it went out of sight, and nobody said a word. We just stood frozen.
‘And about 30 seconds later we heard the real, recognizable sound of fighter jets that seemed to be chasing this object. Again, we just stood there in disbelief for another few minutes and nobody said a word. And we just looked at each other like, ‘did we just see what we think we just saw?’
Rodgers said he checked the papers and watched the news in the following days but nothing was mentioned.
However, the experience piqued his interest in UFOs, leading him to do more research into them.
Rodgers later discovered that the siren was from a nuclear plant around nine miles away and claimed that UFOs are often linked to nuclear energy.
The Jets quarterback is known for his outlandish theories and techniques opening up on his use of ayahuasca at the start of last season, claiming it helped him to his back-to-back MVP seasons in 2020 and 2021.
He also underwent a darkness retreat shortly after the end of the 2022 season to contemplate his NFL future.
